Yucatan in an Era of Globalization

By Eric N. Baklanoff

Book Overview

This work describes the profound changes to Yucatán's society and economy following the 1982 debt crisis that prostrated Mexico's economy. The editors have assembled contributions from seasoned "Yucatecologists"--historians, geographers, cultural students, and an economist--to chart the accelerated change in Yucatán from a monocrop economy to a full beneficiary and victim of rampant globalization.
